Speaker 2: Pull up, hon a reductee Germs Parishons do yoda. Your

3
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 2: NFL career is a study in perseverance. Me you talked

4
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:22,279
Speaker 2: about having to walk on and Kent and then not necessarily,

5
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 2: you know, having immediate success in the NFL.

6
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 1: What was it like for you? Why did you stick

7
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:27,159
Speaker 1: with it?

8
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 2: I don't off practice squads and playing in Europe and

9
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 2: all these different things.

10
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 1: For me. I like playing football. You know.

11
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 3: When I first started playing football, it was just opportunity

12
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 3: to play with my friends. And from that, you know,

13
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 3: it was yo, college is you know, they're willing to

14
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:43,599
Speaker 3: pay for your education.

15
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: And then I got into.

16
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 3: College and during my senior year it was teams that

17
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 3: you know, wanted me to work out, you do your

18
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 3: pro day and all that stuff, and it was like, yo,

19
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 3: you could, you could get paid to actually do this.

20
00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: So when I you know, got to hiss.

21
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 3: To be honest, I didn't give a hundred percent effort

22
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 3: in my first year or two.

23
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: I gave enough to make it through.

24
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 3: But once I was able to sit down and actually

25
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 3: you know, have people to take time to actually say, hey,

26
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 3: this is what you need to do. And I didn't

27
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 3: feel like, you know, I was being talked that I

28
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 3: was being coached too.

29
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,639
Speaker 1: It was easy for me. Hey, defense, come in, stop,

30
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 1: points don't matter, we win the game. This is a

31
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 1: legendary defense.

32
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 2: What was it like playing in that defense at all?

33
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 2: The talent around you and everybody doing their job, and

34
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 2: maybe that OA defense in particular was just phenomena.

35
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just it.

36
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 3: You know, each guy is out there doing exactly what

37
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 3: he's supposed to do.

38
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,119
Speaker 1: But the biggest thing is the bond that we had

39
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 1: with each other.

40
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 3: You know, I think I spent more time, you know, weeks,

41
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 3: you know, through the season where I was with those

42
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 3: guys more than I was with my family. And I

43
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 3: think that bond of that brotherhood, you know what I'm

44
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 3: saying is really what brought us close together, made you

45
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 3: genuinely care and love you know, your teammates, where you

46
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 3: wanted to go out there and do everything you could.

47
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 2: Well you talk about your poison in Stewart's history, deserve

48
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 2: it right in the middle of it. The Pro Bowls,

49
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 2: the defensive player of the Year and the author of

50
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 2: maybe the greatest playing Super Bowl history.

51
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: The greatest playing Let's get it right, No, maybe start

52
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: that over. They're back. He throws the pass NetOp Dave Harrison.

53
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: Haven't He's lit it up the.

54
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 3: Side that whole half, I felt like we were getting

55
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 3: there just step step too late. You know, we'd hit

56
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 3: him just as he threw the ball, and Coach Lebow

57
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 3: caught all out blitz on that player. I believe it

58
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 3: was six to one blitz zero. My job is too

59
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 3: obviously blitz. But the biggest thing is I need to

60
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 3: get this tackle to step at me and take me

61
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 3: so that Tim and who's blitzing on my inside, can

62
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 3: have a free run to the quarterback.

63
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: He's the one that we had a free shot. So

64
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know what, I.

65
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 3: Think he's going to see it and he's going to

66
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 3: get the ball out in time. So I'm gonna play

67
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 3: for the quick slant in and hopefully I'm able to

68
00:02:58,240 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 3: you know, knock.

69
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: The ball down. That's really what I'm saying. And you

70
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: know I do that part.

71
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 3: I step tackle steps that me tenants comes free and

72
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 3: uh later on, you know, Kurt would say that you

73
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 3: know he was looking at me, he saw me step.

74
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 3: So soon as he saw me step, he knew it

75
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 3: was all out blitz. And he's just looking now to

76
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 3: get rid of the ball. He throws the ball and

77
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh my god. So the rest of it

78
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 3: is just you know, it's a it's a whole defense,

79
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 3: you know, all ten guys, you know, putting every ounce

80
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 3: of effort that they had left in that l you know,

81
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 3: that last part I had to you know, help me

82
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 3: get down there and score.

83
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 2: That is the biggest play of this football game. So

84
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 2: you're in the Hall of honor?

85
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: What does that mean to you?

86
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 3: To be honest with you, meant I don't have the

87

Speaker 3: words to express with me. It's just a you know,
